About the Item
A unique patinated bronze sculpture titled ’The Meeting’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills, stood upon an integral rectangular ebonised base.
The original life-size sculpture of this maquette was commissioned for Harpur Square, Bedford, July 1996, as it was once the front playground of Bedford Modern School and the impressive courtyard of the nineteenth century Gothic Revival building.
Like this scale version, the original depicts a father, with a young child on his shoulders, walking their dog beneath his legs, while collecting three other children from school.
The subject is a striking depiction that represents the bond between a father and his family.
Signed to the base ‘John W Mills’ and numbered '1/1’ with an applied label inscribed 'JWM145 / 6950’.
Price includes Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) at 4%.
John W. Mills (1933-2023)
John Mills was a highly celebrated English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes.
Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to receive several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions.
Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London.
Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. This sculpture formed part of this curated collection, from which we selected several pieces, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
